St George Miss Lucy E. Woodruff My Dear Grand Daughter Your letters of June 14 arived last night to me in the Temple I am vary much pleased with your letter, Esspecially with the writing One of the best accomplishments of a young Lady or Gentlemen is to able to write a good plain Round intelligent hand yours is vary good indeed but to scribble as I do it wants a translator. There is is few men living who have spoiled more paper than I have I write to much, to fast, & scribble to hard to write Well your writigng is quite good Enough for the Historian's Office but when I promised you I would take you there to help me I did not know that I would be deprived of the privilege of Going there myself. whenever
